Wooden burning on a wooden candlestick

Introduction to pyrography wooden burning

wooden burningpyrography, also known as pyrography, is a fascinating craft that involves burning patterns and designs into wood using a hot branding pen. This technique allows you to create long-lasting and attractive designs that emphasize the natural charm of the wood. Let's get started together!

Step 1: Print out and transfer the template

First, print out the template you want for your design. This can be our free template or something you have created yourself. Now place a piece of graphite paper on the candle holder, place the template over it and trace the contours of the design with a pencil. The graphite paper transfers the lines onto the wood so that you have a clear orientation.

Step 2: Prepare wooden burning

Once you have transferred the design to the wood, switch on the branding pencil and allow it to heat up. These special pens heat up to high temperatures and are your tool for permanently burning the design into the wood. Slowly begin to trace the lines of the template. Be patient and work carefully to get precise and even lines.

Step 3: stenciling with structure paste

Now the candle holder is made even more artistic. Spray the back of the stencil lightly with spray adhesive and place it carefully on the candle holder. Now use a spatula to gently apply the structure paste over the stencil . This paste will give your project an interesting grandeur and texture. Once you are satisfied, carefully lift the stencil . Clean the stencil directly under clear water to ensure that no residue will affect the next application.

Step 4: Leave to dry and design further

Allow the applied structure paste to dry thoroughly. Depending on the ambient temperature, this may take a few hours. Be patient, because only completely dried structure paste guarantees a clean result. If you want to add more stars or patterns, repeat the stencilling process.

Step 5: Finish your project

Once everything is completely dry, your artwork is ready for display. Now place candles on your newly designed stands and enjoy the soft glow of the flames, which will show off your handmade design even more.
